The cell nucleus goes a long way during an immune response, both literally and figuratively. New research published in ...

Just as life pulsates in big vibrant cities, it also prospers in crowded environments inside cells. The interior of cells is densely packed with biomolecules like proteins and nucleic acids. How is ...

Scientists discover nuclei aren’t the densest part of the cell. Optical imaging shows a surprising balance that may even ...

Cancer cells are subjected to high mechanical pressure that leads to a rupture of the nuclear envelope when migrating through ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and King's College London have discovered that how soft or rigid proteins are in certain regions can dictate how fast or slow they enter the nucleus.

When cancer cells are physically squeezed, they mount an instant, high-energy defense by rushing mitochondria to the cell ...

Mutations in the MAGEL2 gene, which cause Schaaf-Yan syndrome (SYS) —an ultra-rare disease that affects neuronal and cognitive development— generate truncated, non-functional proteins that tend to ...

Another protein central to this process is NuMA, which is essential for spindle pole organisation. Normally, NuMA gathers at ...

Since we can't get an unending supply of eggs naturally, scientists have long been interested in creating a synthetic pathway ...
